A trivial task.

But it could still do the job, right?

The ZX-Web-Cam and chat were a blast. It was up for a total of six hours,
but they were the "after"-hours where the discussion was more on beer than
computers. I did hear that a TCP/IP stack is near completion, and Kai
Fischer brought a prototype ZX2000, but I don't have details on either one
yet. Should be up on the ZX-TEAM homepage soon.
